Nineteen of the Russian's 21 championships have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden trophy for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the competition title decider.
The athlete, a former number one, has had a difficult year, managing just one win at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the US Open.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in especial - led to him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually improved in the past month - culminating in a tightly fought three-set victory over opponent Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's initial title after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard court from spring of that year.
Victory also means Medvedev has secured 21 titles at twenty-one various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my children simultaneously, so to win a trophy is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my second daughter my daughter, because the first title I won when my first daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his previous six championship matches, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
The player's retrieving play style and frequent emotional displays on the tennis court had caused observers to doubt if his capacity to play at the highest level was finished.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, attempting to approach the net and perform assertively, supported by an better serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, securing four of the last five games to take the lead.
The pair traded breaks in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his initial professional title, gained dominance to force a final set.
He rescued 4 early opportunities in a close third set before the Russian won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he secured victory with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
